Rising Star is a one-tract neighborhood of Mesquite, NV, population 4,385. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Mesquite rate of 28.5%.

The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Mesquite, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Vista Verde and Riverside Park score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,115, close to the Mesquite average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,419. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
